Review: Fine & Dandy True Blue

I thought this year i want to make a change to my blog. Rather than talking all about me, i wanted to share my personal views on scrapbook products that i like. I'm writing here based on my personal experience using the products. I might ended up falling in love with the products or i might not like it. Sometimes is hard to say because when i buy them, i thought this will do good to this project but when you are actually working with it, not all the time you will get your desired result. Some of it can be difficult to use, either papers, rub ons, stickers, etc.

I'm starting my first review with My Mind Eye Collection called True Blue. This collections are meant for boys as they also have for the girl called Tickled Pink. But i was drawn to the latest Color Room Palette, so i decided to use it for my girl's picture. This collection has lovely combo....yellow, blue, orange, brown and white. They have 12 double sided papers, chipboard, stickers and layered stickers, trims, brads and buttons. This type of combo are easily used, it doesn't take me long to think on how to match the papers. The cut out from the chipboard are really lovely. It provides a happy elements to my layouts. If you are looking for fun colors, this collection definitely a good ones...with the banners, cute owls and lovely accessories...you can never say NO!

Here is my layout inspired by The Color Room Palette #43

Till next time...

7 + 5

That is how long i have known my husband. We dated for 5 years and our wonderful marriage just turn 7 last week. He is definitely a great guy and i have no doubt i married the right guy. We are just like any other couple ....we do have arguments but i guess we are very committed to our kids and that bring extraordinary love. I hope this stays forever.

I was looking at Pencilines latest sketches, why not i scrap our photos. By the way, Mr Postman just drop by to give me the "Be Mine" collection from Echo Park. As i was very inspired by Iris Babao Uy, her white space usage is such an amazing work, i couldn't stop myself from trying.

"Be Mine" collection is very lovely papers with the combo colors of grey, pink, black and white. Frankly i never actually play with this colors. I decided to mist the layout before decorating them. This is very Iris. I wish this kit comes with 2 pieces of every design, because typical me i usually like front and back. When i got the kit, it has only 1 of each design. Is definitely hard to choose which side i want coz i like them all!!! LOL

Hope u enjoy my take...

A Layout and & Cleaning in Progress

I cannot believe how much junk i have in my scrap room. Going thru each and every one is just taking too much time. I've just sorted all the pattern papers and i can tell you it took me like 2 days to just clear that part. I have so much papers and i'm still eyeing for more. Hahaha. One thing that i'm very happy that i also sorted out my ribbon rolls. I found this mini cubicle and it fits all the rolls. Here is how it looks like. I still have long way to go before i could have nice, clean, neat scrap room. Can't wait for that!


I decided to participate in the Color Room latest palette challenge...which is the #42. I've always admire people who follows the palette closely and i really want to try them one day. So here i am, my take for the challenge.


I've always been a fan of Ronda Palazzari....her splattering of paint are just awesome. I can't help but to try her techniques but i twisted it a bit by using crayon. It definitely dries faster than paint. Hope you like it too.

Till again

Looking forward

I cannot believed that it has been 3 months since i last blogged. It get a little dusty over here!! Haha... I have finally settled down with a good domestic helper and thats a big relieved for me. But it took me a difficult journey to get the kids comfortable with her and i was so drained out late last year. But good thing everything is almost alright and i can be back here.

But that doesn't stop me from creating and window shopping as far as scrapping is concern. Hahaha...once a scrapper is always a scrapper right?? I seen so many fabulous work around the country and lots of new stuff especially this coming 2011 CHA winter. Very yummylicious i must say.

I started this new with this resolution in particular .....organising my scrap room. It used to look like a "jungle" (my husband's favourites quote!). But there is so much to do. I started doing a few stuff...like organising my embellishment, stamps and ribbons. It took me about 5 days already and i'm still half way thru. I found clear casing from a bakery shop and it really does wonders to keep things organised. It comes in different sizes such as 4" x 4" , 5" x 5", 9" x 4"...etc. Prices? Seriously cheap...cost me just RM1.50 the most!

Round Clear Casing for my ribbons

Square Casing for my embellishment

Square Boxes for my Prima Flowers

I thought i started this year scrapping by some sketches. I saw this lovely one from Pencilines. I decided this should be the best times to use my old stash that has been piling up here at my room. So here it is my take using K&Co Amy Butler Paper - The AB Lotus Faded China Collection.


I'm really looking forward to create more this year. Hoping my brain will function well to generate more creative juices. Hehe...Happy New Year Scrapper!
